nice work, Luke - Someone else in the 'brooks onna mtb' club!

my Mtb also has a Brooks :thumbsup:
It also has mudgaurds,slicks,rear rack.The front rack is not currently fitted but it will be refitted if I do an S240 ride

My MTB may not have a Brooks, but it does have mudguards, slicks, rear rack etc as it it my commuter bike.

"The time has come" the rower said,
"To photo all my bikes,
And post them on the internet,
to see which the forum likes."

<snip>

I tried to rhyme about each bike,
Words of envy and lust,
But with poetry skills of McGonnagle,
I gave up in disgust.

Great post rower!
You seem to have one of every type, and a proud collection of U-locks.
I like (upright) tourers best meself, but also fancy a Windcheetah. Never ridden a bent though.

The good news is that it is the right size for me as well (with the seat post up a bit)

In preparation for the Midhurst 600 on Saturday I did an 80mile commute yesterday.

The 5km slog up Portsdown Hill with panniers full of Laptop, power supply, clothes and washbag isn't ideal but the views are stunning once you finally get to the top.



And yes, the chain is a bit slack.

The New Arrival:



It's a Bike Friday Family Tandem--20-inch wheels and kid-friendly sizing in the back, and it comes apart for packing. It's used, but seems to be in good shape, and I was offered  A Deal I Could Not Refuse (but some other stuff will be going out the door to cover this).

Shhhh--don't tell Anders. He has no idea that I just bought this.  ;D

I dunno, but I'd be happy to host the first YACF North American Tandem Rally!

This afternoon when I bring it home from work.  ;D

Hmm... I'd beg or borrow a tandem for that - and kick Mrs S out of her armchair to join me Mrs S would be gagging to come along too I'm sure  :thumbsup:.

When is it?  ;)

Lovely idea Scott. I like the Bike Friday concept too. A pity they are so pricy over here...

Fortunately this one was used and less than half the price of a new one.

It's odd though--I'm not used to all these modern features--V brakes, a cassette (mounted on a 3-speed internal hub), indexing....

I dunno... Have I got - whisper it - too many bikes?



Bear in mind that these are only the ones with wheels on...

You have many bikes there is no "too" about it.
